Definitions
- the invention relates to an alternating current switch with magnetic blowing generating a rotation of the arc, comprising an insulating envelope containing a gas with high dielectric strength, a pair of separable contacts, a first annular electrode associated with one of said contacts and a tubular coil coaxial with said first electrode to generate a magnetic field in the zone of formation and extension of the arc drawn between said contacts during the separation of the latter and to impose a rotary migration of the root of said anchored arc on the first electrode.
- the switch according to the present invention is characterized in that said first electrode in the form of a thick ring made of a good conductive material is attached to the internal edge of the front face of the coil on the side of the arc formation zone for sensing the arc root as soon as the arc forms, that said first electrode covers only a small fraction of said front face to limit the electrodynamic repulsion forces of the first electrode generated by a variation of the current in said coil and that a metal screen is interposed between the arc-forming zone and the part of the front face not covered by the first electrode.
- the annular electrode extends only over a small part of the front face of the coil, which makes it possible to limit the electrodynamic forces and to position the arc root.
- the metallic screen subjected to the action of the magnetic field generated by the coil is also the seat of induced currents, but their influence can be limited by the use of a material of low conductivity and a screen of thin thickness . This screen can be shaped as a deflector of ionized gases.
- Rotating arc switches are known in which the annular electrode only partially covers the front surface of the coil (German patent application No. 2,511,238 (fig. 3) and French patent? 2,285,700), but the surface covered by the electrode is greater than half of the front surface and the reduction in repulsion forces is insufficient.
- the high cylindrical shape of the annular electrode does not allow a concentration of the currents induced in the electrode near the arc and at the zero crossing of the current the intensity of the blowing field of the arc generated by these induced currents is weak and insufficient to extinguish the arc.
- the section of the annular electrode is inscribed in a circle and the center of gravity of the induced currents coincides with the center of the circle.
- the coil is secured to a metal carcass, to which is fixed, for example by welding, the annular electrode.
- the metal carcass constitutes a hoop of the coil as well as a rigid support of the annular electrode capable of withstanding the significant forces of repulsion generated by short-circuit currents flowing through the coil.
- the carcass is advantageously made of a ferromagnetic material, in particular mild steel, capable of increasing lie in the blowing magnetic field when breaking low currents.
- the annular electrode is tightly coupled to the blow coil and it constitutes a ring in short-circuit of phase shift located in the zone of maximum field and allowing a conservation of the magnetic blow field at the passage of the current by zero.
- a second electrode is placed opposite the first one to position the arc in the zone of maximum field generated by the induced currents.
- a sealed envelope 10, of elongated shape, made of a molded insulating material, is filled with sulfur hexafluoride and contains a fixed contact 12 capable of cooperating with a sliding movable contact 14.
- the contacts 12, 14, of elongated are arranged coaxially with the casing 10 and are connected to feed-through bushings 16, 17.
- one of the contacts, in this case the movable contact 14 is tubular to allow the gases to escape through the interior of this contact.
- Fixed contact 12 is rigidly fixed a carcass 18, having an annular recess 20 for housing a blowing coil 22.
- the carcass 18 and the coil 22 coaxially surround the fixed contact 12 and the front face 24 of the coil 22 is disposed substantially at the end 26 of the fixed contact 12, forming the contact face cooperating with the movable contact 14.
- the coil 22 is inserted without play in the housing 20, between an internal ferrule 28 and an external ferrule 30 of the carcass 18.
- the external ferrule 30 constitutes a hoop opposing the bursting of the coil 22, when the latter is traversed by large currents.
- an annular electrode 32 made of a good conductive material, resistant to the action of arcs.
- the electrode 32 projects from the end 26 of the contact 12 and includes a collar projecting from the internal edge of the front face 24 of the coil 22 while being attached to the latter.
- the electrode 32 is in the form of a thick ring, the cross section of which is substantially in a circle.
- the carcass 18 is made of a ferromagnetic metallic material, in particular mild steel, and the electrode 32 is preferably welded to the ferrule 28 to form a one-piece assembly with the carcass 18 and the coil 22.
- the part of the face 24 of the coil 22 not covered by the collar of the electrode 32 is capped by an annular washer 34, which carries by means of an insulating ring 38, a screen 36, which surrounds the electrode 32 with little play and is extended by a frustoconical part 40 surrounding the zone of formation and extension of the arc.
- the part 40 extends to the vicinity of the wall of the envelope 10 and constitutes a deflector of the gases ionized by the arc.
- the coil 22 is connected on the one hand to the contact 12 and on the other hand to the electrode 32 by conductors (not shown).
- the movable contact 14 is associated with a fixed tubular electrode 42 having an annular end surface 44 in re gard and of the same diameter as the electrode 32, the spacing between the surface 44 and the electrode 32 corresponding to the optimal extinction distance of the arc.
- the end 26 of the fixed contact 12 has at its center a recess 46 and the electrode 42 is split along a generator.
- the electrodynamic repulsion efforts of the electrode 32 are limited by the limited width of the electrode 32 and are easily taken care of by attachment to the carcass 18. It is advantageous to cover only a small part of the front surface 24 of the coil 22 by the electrode 32, the other larger part being capped by the screen 36 and the washer 34.
- the metal carcass 18 holds the coil 22, the front face 24 and the insulating ring 38 are protected by the electrode 32, the screen 36 and the washer 34.
- the washer 34 and the screen 36 are thin and made of a metallic material of low conductivity, such as stainless steel. They are the seat of limited induced currents and therefore only support repulsion forces easily taken up by the carcass 18.
- the screen 36 protects the front face 24 of the coil 22 and its deflector 40 deflects the gases ionized by the arc by protecting the wall of the enclosure 10.
- the deflector also serves as a condensation wall.
- the ferromagnetic carcass 18 strengthens the magnetic field generated by the weak currents and allows obtaining a sufficient blowing for the rotation of the arcs of weak current.
- the carcass 18 can be made of mild steel.
- the recess 46 prevents the migration of the arc root, anchored to the fixed contact 12, towards the center of the latter and the slot of the electrode 42 limits the induced currents and the repulsion forces.
- the electrode 42 is not essential, the arc remaining in this case anchored on the movable tubular contact 14 in a position less favorable for its extinction when the current crosses zero.
